The war in Ukraine, which started in 2014 but escalated markedly in February 2022, is not only devastating the lives of Ukrainians and decimating key parts of the infrastructure of Ukraine, but also has wide repercussions outside the country due to the prominent role of Russia and Ukraine in the global economy. The war in Ukraine has led to disruption in global trade and the resulting domino effect has increased the vulnerability of households in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to member´s malnutrition and death, hampered the ability of humanitarian responders through increased demand, increased cost of humanitarian operation, and divided the attention of key governments, donors and partners.

This note intends to provide guidance to country IPC Technical Working Groups and IPC Acute Malnutrition (IPC AMN) Analysts on how to incorporate the effects of the Ukraine crisis into IPC AMN analysis, for both current and projection classifications.
